Picturing America. Domestic and Global Aspects of US Media Culture


Participants

Richard Martin
Columbia University / Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Richard Martin received a B.A. in Anthropology and Comparative Literature from Columbia University in 2004. His research interests span many topics, including: gender and sexuality, hierarchy, violence, family and kinship, primary and secondary socialization, childhood and education. The central thread running through his work is a concern with the role codified fictional representations play in the active construction of cultural imagination and experiential reality. Currently, he holds a Fulbright grant, enabling him to study and research in New German Literature, European Ethnology and Cultural Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin during the 2004-5 academic year. Martin is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and of the Alpha Delta Phi Society. In September 2005, he will begin the Ph.D. program in Anthropology at Princeton University.
